Self hosting would pretty much defeat the whole purpose of workers. The point is that you don't need to self host.

- lsaferite 5y agoTheir point is, can you mitigate vendor lock-in if you need to do so? The fact that you don't even consider that is a sad commentary in itself.

- vonadz 5y agoIf their point was can you mitigate vendor lock-in, they should have said that instead of asking about self-hosting. Saying you have vendor lock-in because you can't self-host something is very strange in the context of this article. I didn't make a point of vendor lock-in because migrating this process flow to a self-hosted HTTP server would take about 5 minutes. On top of that, this flow is going to be very similar for any vendor offering javascript functions. Perhaps it is my fault for not including a section discussing this, but I assumed that the audience for this would primarily be people understand basic javascript and could deduce the portability of the code by looking at it.
